Some bosses demonstrate a sense of entitlement beyond an employee’s tenure, which becomes particularly daunting when this behavior persists even after an individual has resigned.
It is unfortunate to see cases where bosses continue to exercise control and display rights over former employees, without acknowledging their decision to move on.

In the picture, Gina clearly says that she couldn’t participate in the call because she had already started her new job.
Surprisingly, the person on the other end of the line insisted on speaking to someone named Saxena.
“My previous employer didn’t ask me to join a customer call because they need my help… AFTER I’ve resigned and served my notice period.”
The incident shared by Gina on Twitter regarding her request for assistance from her former employer even after her resignation resonated with other users on the platform.

That is very unprofessional and unethical for the company to expect people to have given up to continue helping after the notice period ends. https://t.co/07XrnwqslB

2 years ago I worked at the company as an intern, I got a call after 6 months of leaving the company to help the new intern understand the code base. Yes, these issues are wild at times. https://t.co/r3itS3UjcN
